Brooklyn Nets'Caris LeVert was having a sensational breakout season in his young National Basketball Association career until he picked up a horrifying right leg injury in the game against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday, November 13 (Monday, US time).

The NBA community was clearly upset of the incident, that some significant figures shared why LeVert's injury is more painful than it seems.

But LeVert returned to NY with the rest of the Nets late Monday, and he was evaluated Tuesday morning by Brooklyn's team orthopedist, Dr. Martin O'Malley, at the Hospital for Special Surgery.

LeVert, a former first-round pick in his third season, was averaging a team-leading 19 points entering the game. LeVert sat up and looked at his leg before lying back down and placing his hands on his forehead in apparent pain.
